Delhi to Agra (2)


We spent the day in Agra - home to the famous Taj Majal and Agra Fort. Of course the buildings themselves are amazing and rich in history. However, we arrived at around 10am and so did the rest of the world. The Taj is an amazingly beautiful structure. But the funny thing is, we have more pictures of Yenyy and I with other Indian families than we do of the structures themselves. We are constantly being asked to be included in their pictures. At first it was mostly men who asked to take pictures with us, but soon couples, groups of women and entire families wanted us to be in their pictures. We are always asked where we are from - and then once we say America the usual response is - "Oh...Obama...yes....he is very good...yes". Its pretty cute actually, and I personally enjoy talking to the people when we can.
